1. First Embodiment A pachi-slot machine, which is a gaming machine showing a first embodiment of the present invention, will be described below with reference to FIGS.

<Function flow>
First, referring to FIG. 1, the functional flow of the pachislot machine will be described.
In the pachislot machine of the present embodiment, medals are used as game media for playing a game. In addition to the medals, coins, gaming balls, point data or tokens for gaming may be applied as gaming media.

  When medals are inserted by the player and the start lever is operated, one value (hereinafter, random number value) is extracted from random numbers in a predetermined numerical value range (for example, 0 to 65535).

  The internal lottery means performs lottery based on the extracted random number value to determine an internal winning combination. The internal lottery means is carried by a main control circuit described later. By the determination of the internal winning combination, a combination of symbols permitting display along the later-described winning determination line is determined. In addition, as a classification of combination of the symbol, it is something which relates to the “prize” to which the player is given a privilege such as payout of medals, operation of replay, activation of bonus, etc. Is provided.

  In addition, when the start lever is operated, rotation of the plurality of reels is performed. Thereafter, when the player presses the stop button corresponding to the predetermined reel, the reel stop control means performs control to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel based on the internal winning combination and the timing when the stop button is pressed. Do. The reel stop control means is carried by a main control circuit described later.

  In the pachi slot, basically, control is performed to stop the rotation of the corresponding reel within a prescribed time (190 msec or 75 msec) from when the stop button is pressed. In the present embodiment, the number of symbols moving with the rotation of the reel within this prescribed time is referred to as the “number of sliding symbols”. If the prescribed period is 190 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to be four symbols, and if the prescribed period is 75 msec, the maximum number of sliding symbols is determined to be one symbol.

  When an internal winning combination that permits combination display of symbols relating to winning is determined, the reel stop control means normally determines that a combination of symbols has a winning determination line within a prescribed time of 190 msec (for four symbols of symbols). Stop the rotation of the reel so that it is displayed as much as possible. In addition, the reel stop control means specifies, for example, for one or more reels, at the time of operation of a bonus bonus (CB) which is a second kind special character and a middle bonus (MB) for operating CB continuously. The rotation of the reel is stopped so that the combination of the symbols is displayed as much as possible along the winning determination line within a time of 75 msec (for one symbol). Furthermore, the reel stop control means uses various prescribed times corresponding to the game state to rotate the reel so that the combination of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop it.

  Thus, when the rotations of the plurality of reels are all stopped, the prize determination means determines whether or not the combination of the symbols displayed along the prize determination line relates to a prize. The winning determination means is carried by a main control circuit described later. When it is determined by the winning determination means that the winning is determined, a bonus such as medal payout is given to the player. In pachislot, the above series of flows are performed as one game.

  Further, in the pachislot, various effects are performed using the display of an image performed by a display device, the output of light performed by various lamps, the output of sound performed by a speaker, or a combination of these in the above-described series of flows. It will be.

  When the start lever is operated, a random number for presentation (hereinafter, random number for presentation) is extracted separately from the random number used to determine the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random number value is extracted, the effect content determination means determines by lottery the one to be executed this time out of a plurality of types of effect content associated with the internal winning combination. The effect content determination means is carried by a sub control circuit described later.

  When the contents of the effect are determined, the effect executing means interlocks with respective triggers such as the start of the rotation of the reels, the stop of the rotations of the respective reels, the determination of the presence or absence of a prize, etc. Thus, in Pachislot, the player has an opportunity or opportunity to know the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of the symbols to be aimed) by executing the presentation content associated with the internal winning combination. Thus, the player's interest can be improved.

Two bending engaging portions 298 described later of the sealing engaging member 273 engage with the two base side engaging portions 287.

  The welding step portion 288 is formed in a frame shape surrounding the convex portion 285, the two deformation suppressing portions 286 and the two base side engaging portions 287, and is continuous with the inner surface of the sealing base 271. A welding projection 293 described later of the sealing cover 272 abuts on the welding step 288. The four positioning projections 289 project from the four corners of the welding step 288 and are continuous with the inner surface of the sealing base 271 respectively. The four positioning projections 289 engage with four positioning recesses 295 described later of the sealing cover 272.

  The cylindrical hole of the sealing base 271 becomes smaller toward the bottom. That is, the outer shape of the inner surface at the bottom of the sealing base 271 is set smaller than the outer shape of the opening of the sealing base 271.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the sealing cover 272 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape corresponding to the cylindrical hole of the sealing base 271, and is inserted into the cylindrical hole of the sealing base 271. The sealing cover 272 has a substantially rectangular first surface facing the bottom of the sealing base 271, a rectangular second surface opposite to the first surface, and the first and second surfaces. It has four continuous wall surfaces.

  The outer shape of the first surface of the sealing cover 272 is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the inner surface of the bottom of the sealing base 271, and the outer shape of the second surface of the sealing cover 272 is substantially equal to the outer shape of the opening of the sealing base 271. Therefore, the outer shape of the first surface of the sealing cover 272 becomes smaller than the outer shape of the opening of the sealing base 271, and the sealing cover 272 can be easily inserted into the cylindrical hole of the sealing base 271.

  The first surface of the sealing cover 272 is provided with a fitting recess 291, two pin recesses 292, a welding protrusion 293, two partition protrusions 294, and four positioning recesses 295. There is. The fitting recess 291 is disposed at the center of the first surface of the sealing cover 272 and has a circular shape. The convex portion 285 (see FIG. 14) of the sealing base 271 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 291. The peripheral edge on the opening side of the fitting recess 291 is formed in a tapered shape in order to guide the fitting of the protrusion 285.

  The two pin recesses 292 are disposed on both sides in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of the fitting recess 291 and face the two pin insertion holes 281 of the sealing base 271. The two pin recesses 292 are formed in a circular shape, and the diameter thereof is larger than the diameter of the pin insertion hole 281.

  The welding projection 293 projects from the first surface of the sealing cover 272, and is formed in a rectangular frame shape surrounding the fitting recess 291 and the two pin recesses 292. The welding projection 293 abuts on the welding step 288 of the sealing base 271. The sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 are welded by generating heat at the interface between the welding step 288 and the welding projection 293 by laser light, ultrasonic waves or the like.

  The two partition protrusions 294 are disposed on both sides in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of the two pin recesses 292 and inside the welding protrusions 293. The two partition protrusions 294 are formed in a ridge extending along the short side of the first surface of the sealing cover 272. When the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 are welded, the two partition projections 294 extend along the short side of the first surface of the sealing cover 272 in the welding projection 293, and the sealing engagement It is disposed between the member 273. Thus, when welding is performed using a laser beam, the laser beam can be prevented from affecting the sealing engagement member 273.

  The four positioning recesses 295 are formed at four corners of the first surface of the sealing cover 272. The four positioning projections 289 of the sealing base 271 engage with the four positioning recesses 295, respectively. Thereby, positioning of the sealing cover 272 with respect to the sealing base 271 can be performed easily. In addition, the four positioning recesses 295 and the four positioning recesses 295 may be used as a welded portion of the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272.

  The sealing engagement member 273 is formed of a sheet metal and has a main body plate 297 made of a rectangular plate and two bending engagement portions 298 continuous with the main body plate 297. The main body plate 297 is sandwiched between the inner surface of the bottom of the sealing base 271 and the first surface of the sealing cover 272. Further, the main body plate 297 is surrounded by the welding step portion 288 of the sealing base 271.

  In the main body plate 297, a positioning through hole 297a and two pin through holes 297b are formed. The positioning through hole 297a is disposed at the center of the main body plate 297 and has a circular shape. The convex portion 285 of the sealing base 271 passes through the positioning through hole 297a.

  The two pin through holes 297 b are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the main body plate 297 and face the two pin insertion holes 281 of the sealing base 271. The two pin through holes 297 b are formed in a circular shape, and the diameter thereof is larger than the diameter of the body 230 a of the sealing pin 230. The body portion 230a of the sealing pin 230 penetrating the two pin insertion holes 281 of the sealing base 271 penetrates through the two pin through holes 297b.

  Further, a plurality of engagement pieces 299 are provided in each of the two pin through holes 297 b. The plurality of engagement pieces 299 are continuous with the peripheral portion of the pin through hole 297 b and protrude toward the center of the pin through hole 297 b. The plurality of engagement pieces 299 are elastically deformable, and engage with the pin engagement grooves 230 c of the sealing pin 230 to be elastically deformed. Further, the plurality of elastically deformed engagement pieces 299 restrict movement of the sealing pin 230 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction into the pin through hole 297 b.

  The two bending engagement portions 298 are continuous with the two short sides of the main body plate 297 and project substantially perpendicularly to the plane of the main body plate 297. The two folding engagement portions 298 engage with the two base side engagement portions 287 (see FIG. 14) of the sealing base 271. Specifically, opposing surfaces (inward surfaces of the folds) of the two bending engagement portions 298 engage with the two base side engagement portions 287.

  The engagement of the sealing engagement member 273 with the sealing base 271 is achieved by the engagement of the two bending engagement portions 298 with the two base side engagement portions 287. Further, when the convex portion 285 of the sealing base 271 penetrates the positioning through hole 297a and is fitted to the fitting concave portion 291 of the sealing cover 272, the sealing engagement member 273 is positioned with respect to the sealing cover 272. Ru. As a result, positioning of the sealing engagement member 273 can be easily performed.

[Connection between first sealing unit and second sealing unit]
Next, connection between the first sealing unit 212 and the second sealing unit 216 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along line B-B shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in order to assemble the second sealing portion 216, the sealing engagement member 273 and the sealing cover 272 are accommodated from the side opposite to the side facing the first sealing portion 212 in the sealing base 271, and sealing is performed. The sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 are welded inside the base 271. As a result, the sealing cover 272 can be prevented from being disposed outside, and it becomes difficult to forcibly remove the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272. As a result, the seal base 271 and the seal cover 272 are separated by a method in which a trace is left, and it is possible to prevent or suppress the main control board case 201 from being opened for fraudulent acts.

  Tampering (modification) on the substrate (substrate case) is performed when the store is closed and no one is present. As a modification, for example, it is possible to make an electrical component disposed on a substrate easy to obtain profit (a certain procedure etc., the payout rate is increased or the payout is forcibly made regardless of the result of the game) It can be mentioned that it is replaced.

  By the way, just making the modification to the substrate does not cause any benefit to the person who made the modification. A person who has made a change can earn a profit by later coming to the store mixed with a regular gaming customer and playing a game (or a predetermined operation) with the changed gaming machine. Therefore, damage can be avoided if it is possible to uncover the modification by a later date. On the other hand, it is necessary for those who do wrong acts to modify without leaving a trace so that no alteration is discovered. Therefore, it can be said that if the substrate case can be configured such that modifications can only be made in a manner that leaves a trace, fraud can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the welding projection 293 is provided on the first surface of the sealing cover 272. The first surface of the sealing cover 272 is an end surface opposite to the second surface of the sealing cover 272 exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271. Therefore, it is difficult to reach the weld between the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 even if a tool or the like is made to enter from the opening of the sealing base 271, and it is difficult to forcibly peel off the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 Become.

  The welding projection of the sealing cover 272 (second welding target member) according to the present invention is not limited to the frame shape (entire circumference) along the edge of the first surface, for example, It may be formed along the two opposing sides, or may be formed to line up at an appropriate distance. Moreover, as a welding protrusion of the sealing cover 272 (2nd to-be-welded member) which concerns on this invention, it can set to arbitrary positions, for example, you may provide the welding protrusion on a side surface. In addition, as the sealing cover 272 (second welded member) according to the present invention, welding may be performed with the sealing base 271 (first welded member) without providing the welding projection.

  In addition, the second surface of the sealing cover 272 exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271 is formed to be a smooth (non-convex) flat surface (see FIG. 14). Therefore, it becomes difficult to grip the sealing cover 272, which makes it difficult to forcibly peel off the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the sealing base 271 has a deformation suppressing portion 286 that abuts on the plurality of engagement pieces 299 of the sealing engagement member 273. Thereby, elastic deformation of the plurality of engagement pieces 299 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230 can be prevented or suppressed. Therefore, the engagement between the sealing pin 230 and the plurality of engagement pieces 299 can be prevented from being released, and the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is prevented or suppressed from being released. be able to.

  Before connecting the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216, the sealing pin 230 is disposed at a standby position which is inside the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B. In the standby position, the tip of the body 230a of the sealing pin 230 is held by a plurality of pin holding portions 229 provided on the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B, and the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 It is engaged. The axis of the sealing pin 230 is substantially parallel to the front-rear direction (horizontal direction) of the exterior body (game machine main body) 2.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 are disposed so as to avoid the lower side in the vertical direction g of the sealing pin 230, and hold the sealing pin 230 by at least two pin holding portions 229A and 229B. There is. Thus, the sealing pin 230 can be prevented from being held in a state of being shifted in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction. It is possible not to penetrate the pin insertion hole 281 of the second sealing portion 216 and the pin through hole of the sealing engagement member 273 in a state where the sealing pin 230 is shifted. As a result, the connection between the first sealing unit 212 and the second sealing unit 216 can be prevented from being incomplete, and the reliability and reliability of the sealing by the first sealing unit 212 and the second sealing unit 216 can be improved. It can be done.

  Further, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 hold the tip (the head 230 b side of the tip) of the trunk 230 a of the sealing pin 230. Thereby, the attitude | position of the sealing pin 230 can be stabilized rather than the case where the front end surface of the trunk | drum 230a in the sealing pin 230 is hold | maintained. Further, the tip (tip surface) of the sealing pin 230 is disposed in a pin recess provided in the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B. As a result, the tip end of the sealing pin 230 disposed at the standby position can be prevented from interfering with the other members (the second sealing portion 216).

  Further, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 have inclined surfaces 229 a (see FIG. 15) for guiding the sealing pin 230. Thus, the sealing pin 230 can be easily inserted to a position (standby position) where it engages with the plurality of pin holding portions 229.

  When the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are connected by the sealing pin 230, the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 disposed at the standby position is pressed by a tool or the like. A tool or the like can be brought into contact with the head 230 b of the sealing pin 230 through the through hole 253 provided in the sealing lid 222.

  The sealing pin 230 whose head 230 b is pressed moves in the axial direction parallel to the front-rear direction (horizontal direction) against the plurality of pin holding portions 229. The sealing pin 230 penetrates the pin insertion hole 281 of the second sealing portion 216 (sealing base 271) and the pin through hole 297b of the sealing engagement member 273. At this time, the plurality of engagement pieces 299 of the sealing engagement member 273 engage with the pin engagement grooves 230c of the sealing pin 230, and are pressed in the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230 to be elastically deformed. Thereby, the movement of the sealing pin 230 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction is locked.

  Then, when the head portion 230b of the sealing pin 230 abuts on the bottom of the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B, the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is completed, and the first member 202 and the second member 203 The combined state of is sealed.

  A second sealing unit (not shown) that engages with the first sealing unit 213 and seals the coupled state of the first member 202 (main control board case 201) and the cabinet 2a is the same as the second sealing unit 216. It has a configuration. Therefore, the connection (engagement) between the first seal portion 213 and the second seal portion (not shown) provided in the cabinet 2a is the same as the connection (engagement) between the first seal portion 212 and the second seal portion 216. To be done.

  Moreover, although two sealing pins are used for one sealing part (the 1st sealing part 212 and the 2nd sealing part 216) in this embodiment, one of the two sealing pins 230 is a spare. . Therefore, the connection between the first sealing unit 212 and the second sealing unit 216 is performed by one sealing pin 230.

  When the main control board case 201 is opened by inspection or the like, the pin housing cylinder (224A or 224B) on the side connected by the sealing pin 230 is cut from the first member 202. That is, the protruding piece (241A or 241B) of the connecting portion 225 is cut, and the middle portion of the connecting piece 242 of the connecting portion 225 is cut (the sealing lid 222 is also cut together). As a result, the pin housing cylinder (224A or 224B) can be disconnected from the first member 202, and the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is released. Thereafter, when sealing the bonded state of the first member 202 and the second member 203 again, the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are connected by the spare sealing pin 230.

[Mounting position of main control board case]
Next, the mounting position of the main control board case 201 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a longitudinal sectional view of the upper part of the cabinet 2a.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the main control board case 201 is attached to the top of the cabinet 2a. As described above, the main control board case 201 includes the first member 202 and the second member 203 which are overlapped in the front-rear direction. The first sealing portion 212 is provided in the first member 202, and the second sealing portion 216 is provided in the second member 203.

  The first sealing portion 212 is disposed in front of the second sealing portion 216, and the second sealing portion 216 is opposed to the inner wall surface 2A of the cabinet 2a (game machine main body). The opening of the seal base 271 of the second seal portion 216 faces the inner wall surface 2A. When the first member 202 and the second member 203 are formed of a resin material that is not colorless and transparent, the sealing cover 272 housed in the sealing base 271 can not be viewed from the front side of the cabinet 2a.

  The length L1 of the insertion direction (front-rear direction of the gaming machine body) of the sealing cover 272 with respect to the sealing base 271 is the distance from the second surface (end surface exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271) to the inner wall surface 2A. Longer than L2. Therefore, even if it is attempted to remove the sealing cover 272 from the sealing base 271, the sealing cover 272 interferes with the inner wall surface 2A, so the sealing cover 272 can not be extracted from the sealing base 271.

  That is, when the sealing cover 272 is removed from the sealing base 271, it is necessary to remove the main control board case 201 from the gaming machine main body. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult to peel off the welded portion of the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 in a state where the main control board case 201 is attached to the gaming machine main body. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress the main control board case 201 from being opened to perform an illegal act.

  In the present embodiment, the sealing cover 272 is inserted into the sealing base 271 on the back side (attachment side) of the main control board case 201. Therefore, when the main control board case 201 is attached to the cabinet 2a (or the front door 2b), the cabinet 2a is in the way and the sealing cover 272 can not be removed from the sealing base 271. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress the main control board case 201 from being opened to perform an illegal act. That is, if the second welded member is inserted into the first welded member from the attachment side of the sealed object, the second welded member can not be removed from the first welded member, and the sealed object It is possible to prevent or suppress unauthorized release of the seal of the seal.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the movement restricting portion 283 of the second sealing portion 216 engages with the engagement groove 227 of the first sealing portion 212. As a result, the sealing pin 230 and the plurality of engagement pieces 299 of the sealing engagement member 273 are engaged in a state where the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are shifted, and the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion Incomplete sealing can be prevented using the sealing unit 216. As a result, it is possible to improve the certainty of the sealing operation, and to prevent or suppress fraudulent acts.

  Furthermore, even if the pin housing cylinder 224B of the first sealing portion 212 is separated from the first member 202 and the pin housing cylinder 224A remains, the movement restricting portion 283 of the second sealing portion 216 is the pin housing cylinder 224A. The engagement groove 227 is engaged. Therefore, a force can not be applied to the pin housing cylinder 224A to rotate or displace the pin housing cylinder 224A. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connection piece 241A from being cut by applying a force to the pin housing cylinder 224A.

  In addition, the engagement groove 227 narrows toward the opening side of the pin housing cylinder 224A. That is, in the engagement groove 227, the groove width becomes narrower as it reaches the direction in which the movement restricting portion 283 is inserted into the engagement groove 227. Thus, the movement restricting portion 283 can be easily engaged with the engagement groove 227, and the movement restricting portion 283 can be reliably brought into contact with the engagement groove 227.

  In the present embodiment, the engagement groove 227 is provided in the pin housing cylinder 224A of the first seal portion 212, and the movement restricting portion 283 made of a rib is provided in the engagement wall 282 of the second seal portion 216. However, the movement restricting portion according to the present invention may be a groove portion. In this case, the pin housing cylinder 224A is provided with a rib. That is, the engaging portion engaged with the movement restricting portion according to the present invention may be a rib.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the engagement groove 227 is provided in the pin housing cylinder 224A of the first sealing portion 212. However, as the engaging portion engaged with the movement restricting portion according to the present invention, the sealing lid fixed to the pin housing cylinder 224A may be provided with an engaging groove (may be a rib) as the engaging portion. In this case, a notch is provided in the connection piece 242 (see FIG. 10) of the connection portion 225, and the engagement groove of the sealing lid is disposed in the notch. Further, the height of the engaging wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216 may be increased to face the engaging groove of the sealing lid, and the movement restricting portion may be provided at a portion opposed to the engaging groove.

  By providing the sealing groove with the engagement groove, when the first member 202 and the second member 203 are superimposed, it is not necessary to engage the engagement groove and the movement restricting portion. That is, after the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B of the first sealing portion 212 are inserted into the engagement wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216, the sealing lid is fixed to the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B. A restriction can be engaged. As a result, even when the first member or the second member is large, it is possible to prevent the engagement between the engagement groove and the movement restricting portion from becoming complicated.

  Further, the engagement groove of the sealing lid may have a length passing through a notch provided in the connection piece 242 (see FIG. 10) of the connection portion 225. In that case, the engagement groove faces the outer surface of the pin housing cylinder 224A in the direction intersecting the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230. Therefore, a connection portion connected to the engagement groove may be provided on the outer surface of the pin housing cylinder 224A. Thereby, breakage of the engagement groove which protrudes from the sealing lid can be prevented or suppressed. In addition, even if the height of the engagement wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216 is not increased, the movement restricting portion can be engaged with the engagement groove.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the sealing cover 272 is welded to the sealing base 271 outside the main control substrate case 201. However, the sealing base according to the present invention may be welded to the sealing base inside the substrate case. That is, the space communicating with the opening of the sealing base (the first member to be welded) may be closed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second surface of the sealing cover 272 housed in the sealing base 271 is configured to face the inner wall surface 2A. However, the second surface (the end surface exposed from the opening of the sealing base) of the sealing cover according to the present invention may be opposed to other components. As other components, for example, a middle door 341 and a fan to be described later, a bracket for mounting components, and the like can be mentioned.

At this time, the side plates 643, 644 of the seal cover 641 are guided by the guide portions 686A, 686B (see FIG. 44) of the first member 602.

  After that, when the seal cover 641 continues to descend, the two first locking claws 645 of the seal cover 641 are inserted into the two claw insertion holes 683 of the first seal attaching part 614, and subsequently, 2 of the seal cover 641. The two engagement pins 646 are inserted into pin engagement holes (not shown) of the first seal application portion 614.

  The two first locking claws 645 inserted into the two claw insertion holes 683 slide on the wall surfaces of the holes forming the two claw insertion holes 683 in a state of being elastically deformed (flexible deformation). That is, the hole wall surface forming the two claw insertion holes 683 shows a specific example of the claw sliding portion which elastically deforms the first locking claw according to the present invention.

  On the other hand, the two second locking claws 648 of the seal cover 641 slide on the side surfaces of the first seal affixing portion 614 and the second seal affixing portion 628 in a state of being elastically deformed (flexible deformation). That is, the side surfaces of the first seal attachment portion 614 and the second seal attachment portion 628 show one specific example of the claw sliding portion that elastically deforms the second locking claw according to the present invention.

  The claw sliding portion for elastically deforming the second locking claw according to the present invention may be one of the side surfaces of the first seal bonding portion 614 and the second seal bonding portion 628. In the present embodiment, since the first sloped surface 681 and the second sloped surface 691 have substantially the same size, the second locking claw 648 is a boundary line on the side surface of the first seal attachment portion 614 and the second seal attachment portion 628 Part) is sliding on. However, if the sizes of the first slope 681 and the second slope 691 are not made uniform, the second locking claw 648 slides on the side surface of the first seal affixing portion 614 or the second seal affixing portion 628.

  Further, when the seal cover 641 continues to be lowered, the two first locking claws 645 of the seal cover 641 are elastically deformed (flexible deformation) and are engaged with the two first claws of the first seal attaching part 614. Engage with portion 684. Further, the two second locking claws 648 of the seal cover 641 are released from elastic deformation (flexural deformation) and engage with the bottom surface of the second seal attaching part 628. Also, the arm portions of the two second locking claws 648 engage with the claw regulating portion 692 of the second seal attaching portion 628. Thereby, the attachment of the seal cover 641 to the main control board case 601 is completed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the first seal attachment portion 614 and the second seal attachment portion 628 can be easily engaged simply by lowering the seal cover 641. Further, in order to remove the seal cover 641, it is necessary to pull up the seal cover 641 while releasing the engagement of both the first locking claw 645 and the second locking claw 648. Therefore, the removal of the seal cover 641 can be complicated, and peeling off of the seal seal 640 can be suppressed so that the seal seal 640 is exposed and no trace is left.

  If the main control board case 601 is opened for inspection or the like instead of the purpose of fraudulent action, a trace may remain on the sealing seal 640. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the seal cover 641 from both the seal affixing portion 614 (first member 602) and the second seal affixing portion 628 (second member 603). Therefore, it is sufficient to separate the first member 602 and the second member 603 while releasing the engagement of one of the locking claws (the first locking claw 645 or the second locking claw 648), and the operation is not complicated. You can do so.

  Further, the second locking claw 648 of the seal cover 641 covers the boundary between the side surface of the second seal bonding portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal bonding portion 614. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a wire, an instrument, or the like from intruding into the main control board case 601 from the boundary between the side surface of the second seal bonding portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal bonding portion 614.

  In the present embodiment, the second locking claw 648 covers the boundary between the side surface of the second seal attachment portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal attachment portion 614. However, as a seal cover according to the present invention, a boundary line between the side surface of the second seal attachment portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal attachment portion 614 may be covered with a side plate.

  The seal attaching surface 630 to which the sealing seal 640 (see FIG. 42) is attached is provided on the side of the main control board case 601 opposite to the side on the hinge side of the front door 2b. Thereby, the seal attachment surface 630 (the seal cover 641) can be confirmed without fully opening the front door 2b.

  In this embodiment, the seal cover 641 covering the seal seal 640 is provided to protect the seal seal 640 so that it can not be easily contacted. The sealing cover according to the present invention may be provided with a sealing window that exposes a part of the sealing seal 640 pasted on the sealing pasting surface 630. As a result, even if the seal cover 641 is attached after the seal seal 640 is peeled off or cut, it is possible to directly touch the seal seal 640 with a finger from the sealing window to check whether there is any abnormality. it can. As a result, the cutting of the seal seal 640 can be easily found.

  In addition, the sealing window is preferably provided in a region including the junction of the first slope 681 and the second slope 691 (see FIG. 44). Thereby, it can be easily found that the first member 602 and the second member 603 are separated, and the portion of the sealing seal 640 facing the joint of the first slope 681 and the second slope 691 is cut. .

[First Sealing Unit]
Next, the configuration of the first sealing portions 612 and 613 will be described with reference to FIGS. 48 to 51.

  The pin housing cylinders 664A, 664B have the same configuration as the pin housing cylinders 224A, 224B according to the first embodiment, except that the pin housing cylinder 224A has an engagement groove 227, The pin housing cylinder 664A does not have the engagement groove 227. Hereinafter, the same reference numerals are given to the portions common to the pin housing cylinders 224A and 224B in the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B, and the redundant description will be omitted.

  The connecting portion 665 includes connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D, housing pieces 672A, 672B, connection pieces 673, and thin portions 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D. The connection pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D, the connection piece 673, and the thin portions 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D are formed of a material that can be cut by a tool or the like, for example, a resin material.

  The connection pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D protrude substantially perpendicularly from the rear wall portion 602c of the first member 602. The housing pieces 672A, 672B connect the coupling pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D and the pin housing cylinders 664A, 664B. The connection piece 673 connects the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B.

  The housing pieces 672A and 672B are formed in the shape of a hollow rectangular parallelepiped whose lower portion is opened, and the upper surface portion is continuous with the circumferential surface of the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B. Further, on the upper surface portions of the housing pieces 672A, 672B, engaging protrusions 675A, 675B surrounding the opening ends of the pin housing cylinders 664A, 664B are provided.

  The engaging protrusions 675A and 675B are formed in a partially cut annular shape, and the cut ends are continuous with the mutually opposing side surfaces of the housing pieces 672A and 672B. . A connection piece 673 is disposed at a portion where the engagement protrusion 674 is notched. The engagement protrusions 675A and 675B protrude in the axial direction of the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B more than the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B. The sealing lid 662 is engaged with the engagement projections 675A and 675B.

  The connection pieces 671A and 671B are continuous with the side surface of the housing piece 672A facing the rear wall portion 602c, and form the same plane as the upper surface of the housing piece 672A. On the other hand, the connecting pieces 671C and 671D are continuous with the side surface of the housing piece 672B facing the rear wall portion 602c, and form the same plane as the upper surface of the housing piece 672B.

  The thin portion 674A is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by the connection pieces 671A and 671B, the housing piece 672A, and the rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674A is formed of a plate that is continuous with the connection pieces 671A, 671B, the housing piece 672A, and the rear wall portion 602c.

  The thin portion 674B is formed in a substantially T shape surrounded by the connection pieces 671B and 671C, the housing pieces 672A and 672B, the connection piece 673, and the rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674B is formed of a plate that is continuous with the connection pieces 671B and 671C, the connection piece 673, the housing pieces 672A and 672B, and the rear wall portion 602c.

  The thin portion 674C is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by the connecting pieces 671C and 671D, the housing piece 672B, and the rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674C is formed of a plate that is continuous with the connection pieces 671C and 671D, the housing piece 672B, and the rear wall portion 602c.

  The thin portion 674D is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by the connection piece 673 and the housing pieces 672A and 672B. The thin portion 674D is a plate whose three sides are continuous with the connection piece 673 and the housing pieces 672A and 672B.

  As shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, the thin portions 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D are thinner than the connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D or the connecting piece 673. The thin portions 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D are continuously formed on the connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D or the connecting pieces 673.

  As a result, when cutting the connecting piece, it is necessary to pierce the thin portion continuous with the connecting piece, and the thin portion with a thin thickness is likely to be stained with broken marks, and the trace becomes noticeable. As a result, it is possible to prevent the disconnection of the connection piece from being missed and delay in the detection of a fraud. In addition, since it is easy to detect fraud, it is possible to prevent or suppress fraud.

  For example, in order to separate the pin housing cylinder 664A from the rear wall portion 602c (the first member 602), it is necessary to cut the connection pieces 671A and 671B. A thin portion 674A is provided between the connecting pieces 671A and 671B. Therefore, when using a tool for sandwiching and cutting the connection piece 671A or the connection piece 671B, the thin portion 674A must be pierced by the tool. Therefore, a trace is left on the thin portion 674A, and it is easy to detect fraud.

  Further, even in the case of cutting the connection pieces 671A and 671B without using a tool for sandwiching and cutting the connection piece 671A or the connection piece 671B, when cutting the connection piece 671A and when cutting the connection piece 671B. Since the thin portion 674A is added, the probability that the thin portion 674A is broken is increased, so that the trace tends to be left.

  The connecting piece 671B is surrounded by the thin portion 674A and the thin portion 674B. Therefore, when cutting the connecting piece 671B, it is necessary to break (cut) the thin portion 674A or the thin portion 674B first. Therefore, a trace of destruction will remain in the thin portion 674A or the thin portion 674B, and it is easy to detect fraud.

  As a connection piece according to the present invention, at least a part of the side continuing to the thin portion may be curved. Since it is difficult to cut the thin part along the curved portion of the connecting piece, it is difficult to cut the thin part along the curved portion of the connecting piece, even if it is attempted to cut the thin part along the connecting piece so that the damage mark of the thin part becomes unclear. Traces are more likely to remain.

  The curved portion may be formed on the housing piece 672A (the first sealing portion 612) or the rear wall portion 602c (the first member 602). In addition, it is more difficult to cut a thin portion along a curved portion, and a trace is more likely to remain if the curved portion has a plurality of curved lines continuous like a wavy line. Moreover, you may provide an unevenness | corrugation in a part of connection piece (a 1st sealing part and a 1st member main body), without curving a part of a connection piece (a 1st sealing part and a 1st member main body). Also in this case, it is difficult to cut the thin portion so that the destruction mark is difficult to understand, and the trace is easily left.

  In addition, a slit may be formed as the thin portion according to the present invention. By this, it is possible to guide the destruction of the thin portion so that the destruction mark is easily left, and the mark is easily left. As a shape of a slit, the shape of a broken line can be mentioned, for example. In this case, the trace can be made easier to find by the broken line being broken.

  In addition, the shape of a slit is not limited to polygonal line shape, For example, a broken line, a dashed dotted line, etc. can be set arbitrarily. Further, by setting the stretching direction of the slit in the direction intersecting with the cutting direction of the connecting piece, the trace is more easily left.

  In the present embodiment, the thin portion 674A is continuously formed on the connection pieces 671A and 671B, the housing piece 672A (the first sealing portion 612), and the rear wall portion 602c (the first member 602). Thus, when the first sealing portion 612 is separated from the first member 602, the thin portion 674A is necessarily broken (cut), so that a destructive mark can be surely left in the thin portion.

  However, the thin portion according to the present invention may be continuous with at least the connection piece, and may be continuous with the first sealing portion or the first member main body in addition to the connection piece. In this case, when cutting the connecting piece, the thin portion is made to be continuous at a position that always gets in the way. As a result, a destructive mark will be left in the thin part, and it becomes easy to detect fraud.

  The sealing lid 662 has an outer shape corresponding to the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B, and has two disk portions 677A and 677B and a connection portion 678 connecting the two disk portions 677A and 677B. ing. The sealing lid 662 is engaged with the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B, and is fixed to the end surface on the opening side of the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B by welding.

  The two disk portions 677A and 677B of the sealing lid 662 face the end faces on the opening side of the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B, and the connection portion 678 faces the connection piece 673. The two disk portions 677A and 677B are set to have the same diameter as the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B.

  A through hole 679 is provided in each of the two disk portions 677A and 677B. The diameter of the through hole 679 is smaller than the diameter of the head 230 b of the sealing pin 230. Therefore, the sealing lid 662 locks the removal of the sealing pin 230 from the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B. When the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 is pressed, a tool or the like is passed through the through holes 679 of the disk portions 677A and 677B.

  In addition, a pin regulation protrusion 667 and a welding protrusion 668 are formed on the surfaces of the two disk portions 677A and 677B facing the pin housing cylinders 664A and 664B (FIG. 52). The pin regulation projection 667 is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the through hole 679, and regulates movement of the sealing pin 230 accommodated in the pin accommodation cylinders 664A and 664B toward the opening side. The welding projection 668 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a larger diameter than the pin regulation projection 667. The welding projection 668 is welded to the end face on the opening side of the pin housing cylinders 664A, 664B.
